Luke:

Hear! Hear! I remember when I was first reading Rand and all of the pro-life views I thought that an emphasis on physical health--regular exercise, not smoking, etc.--was strangely missing. Surely an integrated mind/body theory should include the good health of the body. The Greeks certainly emphasized it. (I'll also mention that the Body for Life program of Bill Phillips is a great approach similar to the Beach Body program.) Thanks for the article!

Jim,

In Rand's time, it wasn't as well known what a profoundly negative effect smoking, lack of exercise, lack of nutrition, etc had on your mental and physical performance and happiness. Nor was it as well known what causes a person to be less healthy, what causes a person to be healthy, and to what degrees.

Back then, people thought, "I'll live until I'm 60 to 80, then I'll feel horrible, become useless, and die no matter what." Today, I think "I could an active enjoyable live indefinitely if I can live healthily for 60 more years."

OK, I should stop wasting time talking about the future, and make the future happen! : )
